Just 15 days ago, Glendora was one out from beating AHS, but Taelor Walker’s two-out, two-RBI base hit sent the Tartans home disappointed.

Trailing 2-1 in the bottom of the seventh, Taylor Black drew a one-out walk.
Three batters later, Marisa Dominguez tied the game at 2-2 with a two-out single.

In all, she allowed two hits, walked a pair and struck out six Tartans.
In the top of the 10th, and with one out, Ryan Speh and Nemeth drew walks, and Makenna Coleman singled to load the bases.
